The second section, shown in Figure 3, is made up of similar elements, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, and these are extended in curved portions as shown, but without offset. Thus the curved portion 17 13 fits within the curved corthe end of the portions of the second section fitting within the corresponding complementary portions of the main sections There is of course, a
